I can't climb higher than you [Rebirth]

The days passed by day by day, and it was the end of the year again in a blink of an eye.

This year, the scale of Weilu has expanded in an orderly manner. Qiu Xingzhi has adapted well to the new company. Each has his own business. The common thing is that he is busy, very very busy, and has almost never had a full vacation. Therefore, the two plan to relax during the Spring Festival. , to recharge a bit for the busier coming year.

During the lunch break, Qiu Xingzhi called Wei Yu: "Uncle, are you okay?"

"No, the reexamination result is very good." Wei Yu got into the car, "The doctor also said it was miraculous."

According to the doctor, his father is really safe if his illness has not recurred for more than a year and a half. This time it was a routine reexamination, and the results were as good as ever.

He didn't know how much that little wood carving played a role in it. His father gained a lot of weight, his complexion was rosy, and he was healthier than before the operation. He did handwork every day, went out to play chess, went to the vegetable market and supermarket with his wife, and laughed all day long. Hehe.

Compared with the development of his career, this is what Wei Yu is truly happy and content with.

Qiu Xingzhi: "I have a meeting this afternoon, what are your plans?"

Wei Yu: "I have a dinner appointment with Liao Ran."

"..." Qiu Xingzhi's expression tightened, "He's back?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for so long on a business trip." Wei Yu was about to leave, "I have to go, remember to go to Auntie's for dinner tonight."

"Okay, drive carefully."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Xingzhi paced around the office, round and round, like a spinning top that had just been whipped by braids, spinning non-stop.

For more than half a year, Qian Weiyu took him to meet with his friends, but the place where Liao Ran was sent out by the company happened to be away. Strictly speaking, he hadn't really met Liao Ran yet.

Ok……

Wei Yu and Liao Ran made an appointment at the restaurant they used to frequent, and they haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Liao Ran has gained a little weight, Wei Yu asked with a smile if he was out of town and socializing, he ate too much, and he looked like he was getting fat.

Liao Ran was speechless: "Entertainment is necessary, but I won't get fat. I will recover after two months of exercise."

Wei Yu lowered his head and smiled.

"You look good." Liao Ran looked at him. A person who is really happy and easy can't hide from his close friends. There is light in his eyes and a smile on his mouth. Every word he says is full of satisfaction. They have known each other for more than ten years. In this year, Wei Yu at this moment is different from Wei Yu at any time in the past.

Wei Yu: "My dad has passed the observation period, and there will be no risk of relapse in the future."

Liao Ran also smiled: "Really?"

"Well, he is in good health now, and he is more energetic than me." I don't know if the state of mind is really miraculous for recuperating from illness. From being sick to being in good spirits, compared with the previous life, there are not many family members. No matter what you do, the result is completely different. Luck is a metaphysics, and there is no reason to talk about it.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there were many topics to talk about. The meal was almost 01:30 and they still couldn't get enough of it. Wei Yu proposed to find a teahouse to sit down and continue chatting. Liao Ran didn't nod, and raised his chin towards the door first.

Wei Yu turned his head, and a familiar figure fell into his eyes, walking very fast, as if he was in a hurry.

Liao Ran looked up at Qiu Xingzhi who was getting closer: "I can't drink tea anymore."

Qiu Xingzhi consciously pulled away the chair next to Wei Yu and sat down, and smiled at Wei Yu: "Have you finished eating?"

"Just finished eating." Wei Yu told Qiu Xingzhi about coming here for dinner, but, "Aren't you in a meeting?"

"It's over early, so I came to see you by the way."

Chu's company did pass by here when they arrived at Chu Chengyu. After explaining, Qiu Xingzhi turned to Liao Ran: "Hello, Qiu Xingzhi."

Liao Ran looked at him: "Liao Ran."

The two had met several times before and greeted each other, but this meeting had a different meaning. Qiu Xingzhi looked at Liao Ran, and Liao Ran also looked at him. I'll go somewhere else, and I won't be there until later."

Qiu Xingzhi frowned for a second, and then returned to the original state in half a second: "I'll wait for you."

"No, we may chat for a long time, you go to accompany Auntie first." This year Qiu Xingzhi has been really busy, managing a group is not that simple, no matter how grandpa can help teach, no matter how capable the company managers are, as the core Characters are not qualified to relax, "I drove here, I didn't drink."

Liao Ran scooped up the last mouthful of chicken soup in the bowl with a spoon, but said nothing.

Qiu Xingzhi's eyes showed grievances, but he still nodded. Wei Yu and his friends did not look good when he stood there. Liao Ran was Wei Yu's best friend, and it was inappropriate for him to mess around.

Wei Yu: "Sit down, I'll go to the counter to pay."

Qiu Xingzhi conveniently took Wei Yu's drinking glass, hurried over from the meeting, his throat was about to smoke.

Liao Ran looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly said in a low voice, "Mr. Qiu..."

"Please don't call him that." Qiu Xingzhi turned his gaze to the cashier and gave him an unconscious glance, "You can just call him by name."

"Alright." Liao Ran leaned back in his chair, "Are you afraid that I will have unreasonable thoughts about Wei Yu?"

Qiu Xingzhi was drinking the second glass of water, when he heard this suddenly, the slightly sour lemonade stuck in his throat, his head prevented him from swallowing, he half-tilted and froze there, and then a chain reaction occurred, violently Cough.

Liao Ran turned a blind eye to Qiu Xingzhi's strong reaction, and continued to whisper: "If this is the case, then you are thinking too much. Wei Yu and I have known each other for so many years, so we would have done it long ago, and we won't wait until now."

Being single for so many years, but making up his mind after he had a lover, he would only do this kind of thing when he was out of his mind.

Qiu Xingzhi covered his mouth with a tissue and tried his best to suppress the feeling of choking, his face was red all over, he didn't know whether it was a cough or he didn't know what to say, he couldn't speak for a while, just looked at Liao Ran.

"But as Wei Yu's brother, I still want to say that he is very good. If you don't cherish him, there are plenty of people waiting." Liao Ran pushed the frame, and his eyes stayed behind the lens and couldn't see clearly, "Other You don't have to take it to heart, he is my brother and will always be."

Brother, friend, this is what Qiu Xingzhi used to call Wei Yu. He used to think that he could only be called a friend forever.

He and Liao Ran met for the first time when they returned to Qingcheng just after graduating from university. One day he made an appointment to meet Wei Yu. After saying Liao Ran's name, I glanced at him several times.

Wei Yu briefly introduced the two to each other, and then walked with Qiu Xingzhi, which was the first time they met.

They walked for a long way that day, Qiu Xingzhi suddenly felt his heart move, and when he turned a corner, he looked behind him quietly. Liao Ran stood there, a little far away, and couldn't tell his expression clearly, but Qiu Xingzhi subconsciously felt that he was looking at them, and subconsciously frowned. Tight lips, vigilance of unknown meaning.

Afterwards, they met two or three times. Even this time, the number of times they dealt with each other was no more than one palm, but every time they met, the vigilance would arise spontaneously, as if forming a conditioned reflex.

Qiu Xingzhi thought to himself that it was because he and Wei Yu developed from classmates and friends to today's identities, so he subconsciously put his best friend in the same position as himself, thinking that others have the same covetous thoughts as him.

It's really - a slap in the face.

Liao Ran got up to straighten his clothes first: "Since you are Wei Yu's boyfriend, you will also be our friend in the future, it's as simple as that."

Qiu Xingzhi drank the last sip of water to dilute the irritability of coughing, Wei Yu came over and leaned over to look at him slightly: "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." / "Just chat."

The two quickly glanced at each other, and quickly rolled their eyes, Wei Yu teased that they had a tacit understanding.

It’s the Spring Festival again, and the streets are full of joy. People carrying big bags and small bags of New Year’s goods are constantly passing by the sidewalk. Electric lanterns are hung under the bare trees, conveying a joy to them who are lonely in winter. Qiu Xingzhi drove alone in the endless traffic, calm and relaxed.

What Wei Yu said was right, he and Liao Ran did have a tacit understanding on certain matters.

For example, he actually still feels that Liao Ran has feelings for Wei Yu that go beyond friendship, but if he can take the initiative to say that, there is nothing to worry about.

As long as some invisible people's little thoughts are placed under the sun, and they see the light and people, they will soon disappear.

Liao Ran was so frank, Qiu Xingzhi naturally understood, so he was relieved.

///////

Wei Yu arrived at Chu Chengyu's residence when the last gleam of light was left by the setting sun, and the two of them wandered in the garden before the dishes were ready.

In the familiar garden, Chu Chengyu changed some varieties and added a lot of green plants, which are sparse in winter, and the green color makes people feel refreshed: "Auntie is really amazing."

Qiu Xingzhi: "If you like it, we will live here. Mom will go to the northwest to accompany grandpa and grandma after the new year, and she may not come back until the end of the year."

Wei Yu squatted down to look at a pot of green plants, a small yellow flower in the middle of the pale green tried his best to pull up his head upwards, the arrogance of the stars and the moon: "OK."

After a pause, he got up and resumed the previous topic: "Will your grandpa agree with that boy?"

"Absolutely impossible." Qiu Xingzhi's tone was cold, and he was still a little happy after all, "He brought people back at this time, who doesn't know what his plan is? Grandpa will not tolerate being treated as a fool, and the Qiu family Others will not agree."

Qiu Xingzhi has now nominally separated from Risheng, but Qiu Chenguang's flesh and blood remains in his body, and some things are not separated so quickly.

This year, Qiu Chenguang brought a child back from the outside, saying that the child would recognize his ancestors soon.

The ridiculous thing is that the child is only five years younger than Qiu Xingzhi, and has already grown up, which means that as long as he has a legal father-son relationship, that boy has the conditions that Qiu Xingzhi could fight for resources in the past.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in that circle. The illegitimate children of the third and fourth illegitimate children use it as an after-dinner conversation. Chu Chengyu and Qiu Xingzhi have long known that Qiu Chenguang has a child outside, but he is so ugly that he can't wait. The gesture greatly disgusted the mother and son.
